It is well known that eating disorders often develop in the less-structured environment of a residential campus. Even if that were not a concern, over 90% — yes, that means almost all — of women have dieted or tried to lose weight while getting their bachelor’s degrees. (And before any troll starts the fat jokes, half of these women are normal weight.) So WHY IN THE WORLD would a social media campaign take aim at this vulnerable population? (Never mind that actual results were less stellar than reported.)

Here is a “get active” to “teenage girl” translation, in case you don’t know any teenage girls:

take 10,000 steps a day –> walk faster, fatso!

have you exercised today? –> I can’t believe you’re so lazy.

Eat clean! –> OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ATE ONE SQUARE OF CHOCOLATE YOU ARE SO GROSS

Healthy, right? Isn’t that JUST the message you’d want your daughter/sister/wife/friend/etc. to hear … from her school???

Economic uncertainty has taken its toll in Moscow, where Vladimir Putin has slashed salaries of top officials (including his own) by 10%. According to CNN, this puts the Russian leader’s pay at $61,000 (US) per year.

This sounds pretty reasonable to me. Any takers from the Sunshine List? (Come on guys — can’t be outdone by a Russian! Think of it as a new Space Race — we KNOW you’re old enough to remember the first one…)
